AppImage suggestion: Cyph

[buu700]

I'd opened a PR for @cyph (#1762), but didn't get any response.

Also saw a CI failure, so not sure if I did something wrong there.

Where can the Cyph AppImage be downloaded? The automated test did not find it.

[buu700]

Oh. Whoops, apparently the repo where I'd published the release was accidentally marked as private. Sorry about that! Just went ahead and fixed that.

[probonopd]

Thanks, this makes a big difference 👍

Is there a reason why the AppImage is not following the default naming scheme, cyph-$VERSION-x86_64.AppImage? How did you produce this AppImage?

[buu700]

I can change it to use the default naming scheme if that would be helpful, but as-is it's being generated with cordova-electron and each output is renamed to cyph.${ext}.

[probonopd]

Yes, this would be very helpful. Thank you.

What naming does cordova-electron produce?

[buu700]

Okay, I just published a new release with the suggested naming scheme. It looks like cordova-electron does Cyph $VERSION.AppImage, so I'll just rename it each time I upload it.

[probonopd]

Thank you, we should open an issue with Cordova then to get them to adopt the recommended naming scheme. Not putting the architecture into the filename is going to lead to confusion, especially as ARM gets more popular.

[probonopd]

Are you using this one? https://github.com/apache/cordova-electron

Or do you know in which GitHub repository the code lives that makes an AppImage?

[buu700]

Yep, the code is either in there or https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder (not sure which, but based on electron-userland/electron-builder#1726 it sounds like the latter is at least expected to use the naming convention you suggested).

Oddly, the other generated Linux package names are closer to the AppImage convention:

• com.cyph.desktop-1.0.29.x86_64.rpm

• com.cyph.desktop_1.0.29_amd64.deb

• com.cyph.desktop_1.0.29_amd64.snap

Closing. Please open a pull request if you have a link to a Cyph AppImage.
